About the Game:

You’ve washed them, dried them, and now it’s time to sort the clean laundry in this fast-paced card game where everyone continually plays until there is a winner. You will be given six sets of four cards. Your goal is to pick up and lay down cards to make each of your six stacks a set of four matching clothing items. You want a stack of all boxer briefs, sundresses, Hawaiian shirts, or tube socks. The first player with each of their stacks correctly matched wins the game.

For comparison with other games, this game is fast-paced like Speed and Spoons and feels a little like a much simpler version of Phase 10, except there is only one phase: four of the same kind. It could also be described as Pit, but instead of talking and trading, you take cards from the middle of the table and replace them.

Replay Value:

Moderate replay in this one. It is a quick game and keeps you on your toes. I could see a group playing it two or three times in a row, but then setting it aside and playing something else.

My Thoughts:

Players who like games with fewer rules and no downtime will likely get into this party-style game. There is no reading involved in the game, so it could be an easy one for younger children and/or those who struggle with reading. I like this one, but it probably won’t be in my frequent playing rotation. It is a fun party game, especially if you have people who aren’t really “game” people or who don’t like lots of rules and strategy.
